McF errin Memorial Church,

The Foster Street church has
been re-christened McFerrin Church
in honor and memory of DR.. Jno.
B. McFerrin who with his family
worshipped there for many years
past and gave largely to it's support.
1t is intended to rebuild and en-
large and it is determined now to
make it a memorial monument to
this great man, to be erected by all
the Methodist people. No man was
ever more universally loved and
honored by as large q body of as
good people and it seems to US that
every Methodist in this country
would esteem it special privilege
to be permitted to have small part
in erecting the memorial. A small
contribution from all is desired-a
heart offering. Contributions may
be sent to Jno. n. Sperry, JDo. P.

obllges them to talk about you and
to pay obeisance to you. What
good are two footmen? What good
is diamond SO precious you must
keep it in a safe deposit vault?
What good are thousand vanities,
some of them quite as fantastic as
title TO the crater of Aristylius?
Suppose it were announced that
a certain leader of fashion had
bought Casatus; wouldn't her rival
be eager to give dealer any price
for Leibnitz? A market for impos-
ing craters and fine peaks would be
created at once, and prices could
be doomed" as madly as the most
energetic ''rustler" could desire.
Then there is this to consider.
Such a new world would give war
like nations grand pretext for
long and bloody wars. We know
how the countries of Europe fought
for the new world beyond the At
lantic, and there is some little quar-
reling even yet among them over
the few remaining It'd bits Of Africa
and Asia. But here is a domain Of
the size of the whole continent of
Asia to which, there is no title, ready
for a master. How unnecessary, af-
ter all, were Alexander's tears
Had he only thought of it he
| might have annexed The moon and
stars, and defed any one to dispute
the claim of Macedon to their own,
ershlp. AS it is, all that need be
done is for some ambitious SOY
ereign to set up as ruler of the
sky and then let other nations
knock the chip off his shoulder il
they dare.
Then! after the warriors have had
their fun and glory killing one an
other, the lawyers can step in ant
wax rich from lunar real estate lit
| cation; and amid the shock of arms
and the subtleties Of titles, tht
boomer can ''turn the property
over,' and while thus engaged may
possibly be too busy to fuss with {
mere retail sublunary corner-lo
husin ess here below, and SO let tn,

BERRY BAKER COMES TO TOWN.

This Is the "a day of May, 1887, /
and | concluded I'd come to town
and after an early breakfast, gain
ing the consent of my wife Sally by
washing the dishes, churning and
milking, &c, started. My object
in view was nothing in particular
but everything in general, and l
saw it in all its immensely. The
crops and gardens between home
and town looked clean and nice and
/ was impressed. with the truthful
ness of THE CITIZENS oft-repeated
asseveration that this is the garden
OF the world. But in town every
thing looked as if all had gone out
IN the country to a Sunday school
pick nick. Upon a close investiga-
tion | found some life but little
business; Mr.. Awnings, discussing
the weather, politics, prohibition,
dull times, &c. After abridging the
preleminaries I thought l would
take in the court house where /
found the topic of conversation the
same with a majority on the side Of
the SO forth. Business is little
more brisk about the court house
than it is around the square. The
Court House Club"-not RING"
mind you-that was a dis9raceful
misnomer-has several new ven
lures afoot. l. The building and
loan association has a room inside
the court house well furnished and
Differed with the best material and
bids fair to be beneficial and useful
to its members and patrons. 2. The
building and raising association is
quartered in the court park and is,
or was, composed of two pet SOUR
rels, but one Of them emIgrated and
pre- empted q homestead on the
premises of Mr.. S. Sollnsky, whom
you know is dealer in hides, wool,
&c. Mr.. S. has a cat not altogeth-
er unlike its master in its penchant
for skins and things, and the learn
ed reader may imagine the cat
asthrope that followed. But the re
naming squirrel has many admir-
ing friends and the club is not
without hope of being able to con
tinue business at the old stand, II
the Cat didn't catch the wrong
squirrel.
How nice it would be to have q
whole herd of pet squirrels in the
court yard! A pet squirrel is the
next thing to baby just learning
to talk. Every loves babies
except old maids, and it's sour
grapes with them. Let's all of US
country people carry in a squirrel
each and turn them loose there.
The town people can't get them il
we do not furnish them. They
beat us raising babies but we are
ahead of them in squirrels.

An Automatic Toll Taker,

An automatic collection or toll
taking device, to be attached to tel
ephones at public or pay stations,
has been invented. The mechanism
in the telephone box is so arranged
that the telephone will not operate
until a coin of certain size and
weight, dropped upon switch-le-
yer, thereby making electrical con-
nection between the transmitter and
the line wire. The act of hanging
the receiving telephone after use, in
the place provided for it drops the
coin into a till and releases the
switch-lever, thereby breaking the
electrical connection and Setting
the trap" for the next user.
